An enterprise-strength web and
application server for the intranet and extranet that connects employees,
customers, and partners to an organization's information and web-based
applications. It provides powerful information-management and data-access
services that integrate with existing systems and resources.

Web
content authors can easily manage their files on a Netscape Enterprise
Server by using the Netscape Web Publisherto publish and organize documents and directories. As documents are
moved, renamed, and updated, the server automatically maintains and updates
the links. Document
control and versioning preserve document integrity in collaborative
editing environments.

Searchcapabilities let users search the text content and the file properties
of any document on the server. This provides great flexibility and precision.
For example, a user can find all documents created within the last month
that include the word revenue. Netscape Enterprise Server automatically
handles content in various formats, including HTML, Microsoft Word, Adobe
PDF, and many others.

Agents
on Netscape Enterprise Server improve an organization's communication and
efficiency by providing timely change notification and information to a
user's attention. Both users and administrators (with valid user accounts) can create agents that
run on the server and interact with the server's content.

Developers
can design applications that combine static and dynamic content, database
access, and messaging. They can use C, C++, Java, and JavaScript for development,
and HTTP and IIOP for communication. These applications use web resources
with native database connectivity to Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, and
connectivity to other data sources through ODBC.

CENTRALIZED SERVER MANAGEMENT

Netscape
Enterprise Server incorporates a broad set of management tools that significantly
reduce the cost of managing and maintaining multiple web sites, including
distributed administration. Maintaining users and groups for access control
is more flexible through the Internet-standard directory service (LDAP).
